Mandatory Internet Orientation

Prior to leaving your home country, you should complete the Mandatory Internet Orientation or MIO. Many of your questions will be answered in MIO. MIO is organized as chapters, with each chapter containing a review that you must complete in order to advance to the next chapter. OU is required by law to provide you with the information covered in MIO. There is a mandatory quiz at the end of MIO that each student must pass, but do not worry! The quiz will not be hard. It is simply our way of making sure every student understands this important information. Students should complete MIO before departing for OU.

You will not be able to access MIO until you are enrolled in the course. MIO enrollment will automatically occur about a month before you will begin classes at the University of Oklahoma. You will receive an email when you have access to MIO.

Airport Transport

Transportation is available for all new international students from the Oklahoma City Will Rogers Airport to Norman, OK one week before classes begin through the David L. Boren College of International Studies. At Will Rogers International Airport in Oklahoma City, you will be welcomed by staff and students at our OU table located in the baggage claim area. These OU greeters will wait with you for the shuttle and ride with you to Norman. They will be happy to answer any questions you might have. We look forward to welcoming you to Oklahoma!

Registration will be available in the MIO course. If you have questions, please email niso@ou.edu.
